Title
Amending Sec. 3.17(8)(b), repealing Secs. 3.53(1)(i) and (j), amending Sec. 3.54(1)(i)2., and amending Sec. 3.54(6)(b) of the Madison General Ordinances to create the salaried position of Community Development Authority Executive Director in Compensation Group 21.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS:  This ordinance makes changes to provide for a salaried position of Executive Director of the Community Development Authority (CDA).  It eliminates the positions of Executive Directors for the Madison Redevelopment Authority and the Madison Housing Authority, and creates the position of Community Development Authority Executive Director in Compensation Group 21.  By statute, the CDA Board appoints the Executive Director.  This ordinance provides for consultation with the Mayor prior to making the appointment.  This ordinance provides for supervision, discipline and non-renewal of the Executive Director by the Mayor, but termination requires the concurrence of the Mayor and the CDA Board.
The ordinance further provides that the CDA Executive Director will manage and supervise the City's Housing Operations.  This final provision will require further ordinance changes in the future.
